I've got some CSV Writers from FME 2016.1 and I obviously want to take advantage of the new CSV2 Writer. I thought I could make life easy by editing the Feature Type properties and changing the Writer from CSV to CSV2 but FME ended up crashing. So I presume creating things from scratch with the new Writer is recommended way...?

Yes, I think so. There's an idea to allow upgrading readers and writers you can vote for, however:

Despite the theme being magic in the FMEWT, some things you still need to do from the start...

Hi @tim_wood

 

Unfortunately development can't reproduce the issue and now I can't either.

 

Would you please share your workspace with me?

 

Also, what OS are you using?

 

Thanks!

And actually that idea is now in the FME 2017.1 beta.. Just right click and say "update". Now, whether we've got it working to make the jump from CSV to CSV2 is an open question I'll ask about....
